Zero businesses were burned down in Houston, my hometown and also hometown of George Floyd, where 60,000 marched at his funeral.Let me ask two questions... after a Right rally, how many businesses were burnt down?
After a Left rally, how many businesses were burnt down?
After a Right rally, how many of the rally goers are shot seven times in the back or suffocated to death by police?
How many Left rallies are based on a refusal to acknowledge that an entire group of people’s lives “matter”?
Burning businesses is wrong, but let’s not pretend like the situation is symmetric. Trumpeters aren’t the ones getting brutalized by police, and when they try to call attention to it peacefully, people tell them to “shut up and dribble” (as Laura Ingraham did) or make a childish show of walking out of a football game (as Mike Pence did). It’s hypocritical to focus on the violence of social unrest while also refusing to address the violence of the status quo that preceded it, and doing everything to downplay and ignore the peaceful protest to change it.
